yours is the first case i am seeing this problem.... have been using denims since i boughe my fz more than 2 years back and nothing as such...

my first action would be to take it to the sc and demand an explaination of the problem.... at the same time you can also take some pics of the damaged portion and send it to yamaha india along with the bill of the bike.
if this is a problem with the bike being a defective product they have to change the parts.

if they somehow are able to prove that it was due to your mistake may be like keeping the bike in harsh sun all the time(which in this case is unlikely as the bike is just a month old), or spilling of petrol (which tends to damage the painted parts) etc. etc. you can always get a can of touch up spray from your local two wheeler market and do the work yourself. a bottle of spray should not cost more than 200-300rs.

Omg.....

I care my bike more than my life. never exposed it to harsh sun and i always wipe spilled petrol on the spot. see the pics(idk if u guys can see it).
Also, there's bend on the swing arm(check attached pics) is it normal? btw my bike runs smoothly.

Well on ma bike both the swing arms are straight,,well as u have said that your bike runs smoothly,then i think there's nothing to worry.But if still have some doubt's you can check it by the Yamaha Service station

I also notice that in many of the FZs the side markers or Yamaha Logos are peeled off. Can these LED side markers also be peeled off too ?
I want to get it installed on my bike too, But don't want it if someone can peel it off.

Any suggestions ?

That is not a thing to worry much,almost around 90% of Fz have this bend.this is not serious,it is done from factory only to accomodate the rear tyre.For further clarification you can visit SVC.

dude , you're panicking ... the paint fading can be easily fixed with a wax , no issues ... I had my jacket zipper which really made a mess of the tank and was cleaned out by just a general wax ...
